Well the damn thing is almost done.

The flower borders are as they should be (i was wrongly thinking they where iphone size and not ipad size), fixed the boot logo, know what files I need to change to make the itunes/App store have a pink border (PlaceholderBanner.png the ones i have are 147 x 83 which i believe are iphone resolutions, I need the ipad dimensions and name if it's different on ipad).

What left to fix;

1. Wallpaper is 320 x 480 because the 1024 x 768 gets zoom in. (There is the ipad resolution wallpaper named "Wallpaper~ipad.png" if you get it to work plz let me know)

2. Wallpaper wont rotate with the ipad.

3. changing PlaceholderBanner.png for itunes app and App store.

4. Youtube app volume progress bar name/location so i can change them to pink. (I have no idea how to fix this)

5. Making this 4.2.1 Theme compatible with iOS 5.

Here is the latest Theme (almost done) and the iPad Boot logo; (location for the boot logo folder is Library/BootLogos Slider says "Hello Kiity" & the boot logo does not have my niece Name.)

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9150537/Hello%20Kitty%20iPad%20Theme.zip

The theme is big (50m) because it's for the ipad and resolution on everything is higher, plus i have all the iphone resolution images also for the upscale iphone apps i still use. If you fix any of the problems while using it plz let me know how.

Again Tnx! for the Help!!! I'm almost done because of the help...

Also ordered the Crayola pen; (pen sucks but it opens the app which is stellar IMHO)

She does not have a computer so this will be her first one, so i bought her the apple Bluetooth keyboard for school work and a pink silicone cover.

ToBluetothKeyboard.jpg

Tokeybordpinkcover.jpg


Only thing I'm still undecided is the stylus for painting. Jot still looks the best option so far; (ostylus works great also but is too long IMHO)

Now I did not go crazy spending $$$ on this here are the prices I paid compared to retail; (All New)

Otterbox Defender Series Case = Retail $89/Ebay $19.99

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard = Retail $69/Ebay $29.99

Crayola COLORSTUDIO HD iMarker = Retail $29.99/Ebay $15.99

Hot Pink Handsfree 3.5mm Headset = Retail $30/Ebay $7.95

Pink Silicone cover protector for keyboard = Retail $15/Ebay $2.99

Tablet Teddy Bear Carrying case = $69.99 (not available any wear else)

Decided on using Handbreak for the video conversion, I just choose the file size (500m) and the ipad preset video looks good and i have the space i need.

Here is the final theme folders;

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9150537/Hello%20Kitty%20iPad%20Theme%20iOS%204.2.zip

What i need to do is;

1. Make the theme folder in to a .deb that will also install "winterboard" from cydia.

2. Add to the theme .deb "Lust SBSettings Pink Theme" that will also install SBsettings from cydia.

3. Make the BootLogo folder a .deb that will also install "BootLogo" from cydia. (make this available separately but that will install with my theme)

4. How to upload the .deb to cydia.

(by the way 2 things i never could figure out; volume progress bar ipad native video players & music control on lock screen icon to close. If you find a way let me know and i will update the theme)

Well i received a few items i order; wireless keyboard works great and the pink cover stick to it so it does not fall, Crayola iMaker works INCREDIBLE if you have kids this is a must. Waiting on the Teddy Bear Carrying Case and just order Jot Mini Stylus (went on sale today) I will let you know how both work.

On the wallpaper thing, have you tried a 1024x1024 image? Since the iPad is rotating and switching between 1024x768 and 768x1024, a 1024x1024 image may be required to look the best and have no chance of zoom.

Really weird, never had an issue with wallpapers doing that. Are you replacing them at the file level or applying them through the iPad settings? If the former, maybe it needs an @2x tag or something to signify the higher resolution? If the latter, I just don't know. Congrats on finishing and publishing the theme though.
